The 16-port switching module is designed to deliver high performance for demanding storage networking applications.
The 32-port switching module is designed to deliver an optimal balance of performance and port density.
<<IBM TotalStorage SAN Switch F32>>
The 2109 Model F32 is a 32-port, dual speed, auto-sensing Fibre Channel switch that delivers the next generation of performance and functionality for a Fibre Channel Storage Area Network (SAN).
Sixteen short-wave (500 M at 1 Gbit/s, 300 M at 2 Gbit/s) universal ports are standard.
In addition, a mixture of short-wave and long-wave (10 km) ports can be configured by adding up to eight SFP optical transceivers. SFP LC connectors provide higher port density and cut rack space height requirements in half.
